Adam Kinzinger: The Atmosphere at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Makes You Feel Like You Can’t Giggle, Even if You Weren’t Briefed

RUSH EXCERPT:

KINZINGER: “it is a remarkable moment caught on camera, given the fact that there are too many. Unknown soldier is one of the most sacred war memorials in the United States, and it is guarded by soldiers assigned to what‘s known as the old guard. And they patrol, as you said, 24/7, rain or shine, and have since 1948. And this is a soldier which Sean Parnell, the chief pentagon spokesperson, correctly noted was just correct, was doing his job and correcting Pete Hegseth and members of his senior staff for laughing and talking and taking photos in front of this war memorial. And it‘s something that I think critics may wonder why soldier who is in uniform patrolling this memorial, why he is correcting the secretary of defense or having to correct the secretary of defense in a moment like this.”
